1984

1984--George Orwell

Part One
Chapter 3

if all records told the same tale -- then the lie passed into history and became truth.

'Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'

And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory.
